Fig 1 Kinematic data at the (A) ankle, (B) knee, (C) hip, and (D) pelvis across the gait cycle. Positive angles indicate joint flexion and dorsiflexion; negative angles represent extension and plantarflexion. The dotted line and shaded area represent the mean and ±1 SD, respectively, for the control group (n=9). The solid dark line represents the mean of the PD group (n=15). The vertical line represents point of toe-off (62.3% for controls, 62.4% for PD), distinguishing the stance phase of the gait cycle from the swing phase.

Fig 2 Kinetic data at the (A, D) ankle, (B, E) knee, and (C, F) hip during the stance phase only. Positive moment values indicate internal extension and plantarflexion moment; negative values represent flexion and dorsiflexion moments. Positive power values represent power generation; negative values represent power absorption. The dotted line and shaded area represent the mean and ±1 SD, respectively, for the control group (n=9). The solid dark line represents the mean of the PD group (n=15).
